MG4 EV Urban 2026 review Australia: New cut-price electric car sets sights on BYD Dolphin & GWM Ora
Stephen Ottley reviews the 2026 MG MG4 EV Urban, the new entry point to the MG electric hatchback range in Australia. This front-wheel-drive model arrives in two grades, the Essence 43 and Essence 54, featuring 43kWh and 54kWh LFP battery options. The video explores how this city-focused platform differs from the existing rear-wheel-drive MG4 through its softer design and increased cabin dimensions.
The review covers essential features including the 12.8-inch infotainment screen, 360-degree camera and the MG Pilot safety suite. Stephen tests the practicality of the 382-litre boot and evaluates the interior space provided by the 2750mm wheelbase. Technical specs are detailed with a focus on the 150kW DC fast charging capability and the 316km to 405km WLTP driving range.
Driving impressions focus on urban manoeuvrability and the performance of the 110kW and 118kW motors. The analysis places the MG4 EV Urban against key rivals like the BYD Dolphin, GWM Ora and GAC Aion UT. Factual comparisons regarding value and daily usability help local buyers determine if this budget-friendly hatchback fits their lifestyle.
